Hello, --prefix=DIR Set the EPREFIX environment variable. You are trying to use Gentoo Prefix, but normal Gentoo Linux at the same time? I guess there is a missing thought here? What is the intent exactly? Thanks.
Hello, looks like this was a misunderstanding on my side. I didn't realize at that time that Gentoo Prefix was a special project and the --prefix option was for use with that environment only. The intention was to build some packages for use on another computer without privileges, and found the --prefix switch in the emerge man page. I assumed that the EPREFIX variable is just used to set the value for the --prefix parameter for configure scripts and similar settings for other build systems. As it seemed to do just that for most packages and failed for ncurses, I thought there was something wrong with this ebuild. Seems like I was on the wrong track here. Now I'm using Gentoo Prefix as intended, and it works great so far (also when merging ncurses). So the mistake was on my end.
Thanks for the update, I'll close this report.
